Good Eats S1E10P1: Hook, Line And Dinner

[kayceehorse]

I liked that fish that kepted staring at him :) I hope he didn't turn into diner.

[pittmeister]

DONT EVER FLIP THE FISH

[kotaro07]

I eat the fins D: . They are good when they are crispy.

[gamemeister27]

My good reliable source for fresh fish is just 10 minutes away. A lake with a ton of good sized bluegill. Man I love Minnesota.

[CapriciousBellamy]

2:00 Wow, that's the first time I've seen a misspelling in the text on this show.

[garuda32]

@CapriciousBellamy good eye. literally and figuratively.

[supsup195]

notice, he snipped off the tail, but after he takes it out of the oven, the tail is still there. *GASP*

[Shorigun]

@supsup195 he isnt gonna wait all that time when he could just make a replica

[supsup195]

@Shorigun Yeah, I know, I just wanted to point it out. He does explain that he has to make several copies of the dish in advance so as to not waste time.

[rauc6788]

The editing is really choppy in this episode. Still love the food though.

[Pyroblazer]

@rauc6788  It is only the first season

[Hizoshi]

So muuuuch salt 0_0 is it necessary?

[kiminokami]

@Hizoshi The salt is almost entirely a cooking medium. It does not infiltrate the fish.

[Jedibron]

Still though. That is a lot of salt. Not that its bad. It just seem wasteful.

[sosoasian]

believe me, it's necessary. The purpose of the salt is to encrust the whole fish, cook it evenly and not let it dry out. Really, the salt acts as a shelter for the fish as it cooks, not to mention a seasoning to boot.

[Girtych]

Thankfully, salt's nice and cheap.

[kiminokami]

Thank God we are not living in the Middle Ages.

[evanparker]

OH NO A WHOLE $0.50 worth of SALT WHAT A WORLD WHAT A WORLD

[zobo58]

Don't forget to scoop the cheeks out of the head...if you've never tried fish head cheeks, you're missing the "goodest eats" of the whole fish. Any fish, especially salmon cheeks.

[MrBiscuit77]

It only makes sense with Halibut or other large fish

[kiminokami]

How do you make sure you are scooping out the cheeks right?

[zobo58]

every fish head has cheeks...just below and back from the eyes, but before the gills. After the fish, like salmon or halibut or cod, is cooked, simply peel back the skin on that area and you'll find the moist, choice cheek meat. It'll be a soft, round chuck of good eats. Enjoy

[flickeries]

Try coating the fins and tails in a light brown sugar and soy sauce mix, deep fry them for about 1 min on high.

Makes very good crackers.

[sabian1hhx1only]

u rock dude those kicked ass

[flickeries]

I'm glad it helped :].

[N9Wang]

Hooray for Alton Brown's informative & excellent cooking! I so look forward to when I acquire the Good Eats DVDs

[MarsellaFyngold]

GASP! What do you mean no one eats it?! The tail and fins are my favourite part!!!! Then again. . . that's only when fried. . . .

[milestonedd]

alton should've cooked it alive and eaten it

[astrangeone]

The Heart of the Ocean? Oh god!  That's funny...

[NoadiArt]

I personally love fish tails, they get all crispy and crunchy in the oven. So no way I'm cutting it off, especially if it's trout I'm cooking.

[zboishcha]

ok everyone i know your out there give this a thumbs up if love ab :( *sniff* cant thumbs up myself

[hsuanstr]

@zboishcha only fags ask for thumbs up

[kiminokami]

@hsuanstr There is nothing wrong with homosexuality. Please give me a thumbs up.

[hsuanstr]

@kiminokami Fags = homosexual? I thought we were talking about a cigarette. You sir are ignorant.

[kiminokami]

@hsuanstr You admit to being an idiot, and then you accuse the non-idiotic of ignorance?

[dmbfan1912]

which episode did AB ask, "Like the hat?" It's been bugging me.

[pjoyal]

He does that in a lot of episodes, but the one you're probably thinking of is The Egg Files, S1E3

[zboishcha]

Was there humming at 1:15-1:18 or was it just me?

[smartification]

There was :3

[rayandkerri]

Where's S1E9P2? It's missing! I need to know the solution to the mystery of the onion!

[poker720]

rayandkerri heres where it is

watch?v=gekPm1qwPpk

[wookieproductions]

lol titanic

[LRMNmeyer]

AB should do an episode on walleye!

[MoyraAngel]

I think he does. If I am remembering it correctly it is one of the "flat is beautiful" episodes.

[loborose22]

he found le coeur de la mer. XDD and that fish looks really good.

[aznshrimp90]

behind the scenes ep saids that he used his real kitchen one ep i think this is the one

[crazychris013]

It was the pea epesode that was his kitchen

[Owner46]

aww he missed the fish cheeks

[obamamama0185]

Aren't fish cheeks mentioned in an Amy Tan short story? I could swear I read it, but I don't know what the title is.

[GreenManalichi]

I love that bit with the nosey fish LMAO...I had to watch it over and over again

[MahBoi3579]

lol "wait your turn"

[beckster02]

What?!? No secret decoder ring?!?

[whitetacoman145]

i love the dime store necklace

[acidqueen5426]

Loved how that one fish was checking AB out while he was talking.

[whitetacoman145]

u no i love alton but he really uses alot of salt in alot of foods i no its a flovor inhancer but it bad 4 the heart kidenys and bladder i love alton but really i think he could cut down on the salt

[Supnitle]

You = Idiot.

[tigereye1964]

The salt doesn't absorb into it as much as you may think. It's probably a lot less in there than your average frozen dinner.

[MoyraAngel]

When you cook your own food with as much salt as he uses you are not using nearly as much as there is in processed food. And unless you have certain predispositions you will have no health problems due to salt.

[007lennonmeerkathyne]

watch the salt apisode "eat this rock"

[ebwarg]

"Blub blub blub can I have your autograph, Mr. Brown? Blub blub when are you gonna do a show on plankton? blub blub blub?"

[Virtualgoose]

thats a badass scuba outfit

[patrickjoeandypete]

i love alton!!! my dad and i watch every night! i love it!

[pzshi]

hey that fish that he is carving still has it's tail even though he cut it off!!

[pibeagles]

Well, probably his staff forgot to cut the tail of the fish that they cooked--he has people who do anything that takes longer than 30 seconds to a minute for him.

[JazzySnazzy734]

sweet more.... :)

[WafflesMcShatner]

God, I love Alton Brown.

His show is awesome. :D
